This is just another example of Micro$oft not being able to compete, so they just buy up the competition. It is not good enough that they have a monopoly in the computer os business, but now they are going to set it up in the search business. If they end up buying them all, we won't be able to find shit.

Could the acquisition of Yahoo allow Microsoft--despite its legacy of serious legal and regulatory offenses--to extend unfair practices from browsers and operating systems to the Internet?
